Send the PWM through the relay output on the sidecar

Re: how to connect the spike to the sidecar relay

Connect a multi color pwm cable from the spike to the outputs marked "Relay" on the sidecar. On the sidecar, the black wire goes toward the edge of the sidecar. In the spike, the white wire goes to the "S" (signal) pin.

Only the Black (B) terminal is labeled on Spikes and Victors, so you would align based on B, (GND) which goes to the inside (Closer to the breaker), as opposed to the W (Sig1 or Sig2) which goes to the Outside of the Spike.
